Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic timepiece that displays time based on city data related to the time of a city includes: a second home time storage area and a third world time storage area that store additional city data related to the time of an additional city transmitted from an external device; a storage area other than the second home time storage area and the third world time storage area; and a processing unit that clears the additional city data stored in the second home time storage area and the third world time storage area when selected data is switched from the additional city data stored in the second home time storage area and the third world time storage area to the city data stored in the storage area.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic timepiece that displays time based on city data related to time of a city, the electronic timepiece comprising: a storage device including: a first storage area storing additional city data among the city data, the additional city data being related to a time of an additional city transmitted from an external device; and a second storage area storing the city data other than the additional city data stored in the first storage area, the second storage area being a storage area other than the first storage area; and a processor configured to clear the additional city data stored in the first storage area when selected data is switched from the additional city data stored in the first storage area to the city data stored in the second storage area. 2. The electronic timepiece according to claim 1 , wherein the additional city data stored in the first storage area is related to a home time, the home time being a time in a region where the electronic timepiece is located, the city data stored in the second storage area is related to the home time, and the processor controls the additional city data and the city data related to the home time, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area when selected data is switched from the additional city data stored in the first storage area to the city data stored in the second storage area. 3. The electronic timepiece according to claim 1 , wherein the additional city data stored in the first storage area is related to a world time, the world time being a time outside a region where the electronic timepiece is located, the city data stored in the second storage area is related to the world time, and the processor controls the additional city data and the city data related to the world time, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area when selected data is switched from the additional city data stored in the first storage area to the city data stored in the second storage area. 4. The electronic timepiece according to claim 2 , wherein the additional city data stored in the first storage area is related to a world time, the world time being a time outside the region where the electronic timepiece is located, the city data stored in the second storage area is related to the world time, and the processor controls the additional city data and the city data related to the world time, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area when selected data is switched from the additional city data stored in the first storage area to the city data stored in the second storage area. 5. The electronic timepiece according to claim 1 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at a world time, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at a home time indicating a time in a region where the electronic timepiece is located into the third storage area at the world time, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area. 6. The electronic timepiece according to claim 2 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at a world time, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at the home time indicating the time in the region where the electronic timepiece is located into the third storage area at the world time, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area. 7. The electronic timepiece according to claim 3 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at the world time, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at a home time indicating the time in the region where the electronic timepiece is located into the third storage area at the world time, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area. 8. The electronic timepiece according to claim 4 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at the world time, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at the home time indicating the time in the region where the electronic timepiece is located into the third storage area at the world time, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area. 9. The electronic timepiece according to claim 1 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at a home time indicating a time in a region where the electronic timepiece is located, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at the home time into the third storage area at a world time indicating a time outside the region where the electronic timepiece is located, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area. 10. The electronic timepiece according to claim 2 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at the home time indicating the time in the region where the electronic timepiece is located, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at the home time into the third storage area at a world time indicating a time outside the region where the electronic timepiece is located, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area. 11. The electronic timepiece according to claim 3 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at a home time indicating a time in the region where the electronic timepiece is located, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at the home time into the third storage area at a world time indicating a time outside the region where the electronic timepiece is located, and clears the additional city data stored in the first storage area. 12. The electronic timepiece according to claim 4 , wherein a third storage area is formed in the storage device, additional city data related to a time of an additional city being stored into the third storage area at the home time indicating the time in the region where the electronic timepiece is located, the additional city data being transmitted from the external device, and the processor moves the additional city data stored in the first storage area at the home time into the third storage area at a world time indicating a time outside the region where the electronic timepiece is located, and clears the additional city data stored in the fi
